[QUOTE="E34EuroTouring, post: 69164, member: 1026"] TN, Crumple zone are designed to *absorb* energy. Now, I think it does a BETTER job abosrbing such impact energy by being supported by the foam which are compressible and not hard structured as steel or raw iron tubing. This is like landing on a matress as opposed to a solid slab of rubber!. Take the case of the Carbon fibre noise cone of an F1 car. It takes ALL the energy of 40 tons (Yes: FORTY tons) of force in its "dispersion design" when the lattice structure of the CF material breaks upon impact. Just amazing!. This does not even give a scratch to a solid concrete wall during testing. Amazing. The wall dispersed it energy inwards without breaking due to its steel-reinforced strength. So I think Chassis Foaming is a GOOD thing for safety too. Another reason to have it done!. [/QUOTE]
